I plan on building a pretty high-end gaming rig, with either a Core 2 quad or i7 chip. Any recommendations on a heatsink? Noise isn't a huge concern, but i don't want 1 that is unnecessarily loud. I don't plan on overclocking now, but may look into it in the future.
-Thnx

For high-end gaming, I would definitely go i7, but either way Xigmatek S1283 is a good choice, just get the right crossbow mounting (the LGA1366 works with LGA775 also).
